Step 6: Final touch for your manga – adding texts into the dialog boxes.



Supplies Required: computer with the image editing software PhotoShop installed.

I normally combine this step with step 5, but here I separate them just to make it clear for beginners. When adding the texts, Photo Shop can be a very handy tool as well.


A few things need to pay attention to:

First, always use the font style of Comic Sans MS.
Second, always capitalize all texts.
Third, sometimes text art can supplement the graphics and add special effects. Have fun with it and be creative.

Now congratulations my friend, you have finished this tutorial and ready to get your own manga going~ have fun and practice more. Yay~~~~


Revisit the previous step:
Step 5: Enrich your drawings by adding shadows and textures.

I spend this entire weekend working on this tutorial, hope some people will find it useful. ^^
I hate text-only tutorials, so add lots graphics in there just to make it fun for anyone who read it.

Any thoughts let me know ^^ I am going to bed now... tired~~ >_<

Thanks for your help, especially on how to PhotoShop properly I will be posting my own manga here soon...unfortunately, I need more SpeedBall pens to ink it properly...right now, I only have a Crow Quill pen, I'll get more...
Thanks again!
